Cincinnati Reds update: Griffey back on DL

As much as I hate mentioning this, Ken Griffey, Jr. is back on the Disabled List for the Cincinnati Reds. Griffey felt tightness behind his knee about a week ago and has been sitting out as a precautionary move, and now the Reds are saying that he has been diagnosed with a strained tendon behind the knee.

With Griffey out of the lineup for at least another 10 days or so, expect a lot of super-utility man Ryan Freel in CF and more playing times for Rich Aurilia, Tony Womack and/or Brandon Phillips at 2B. Phillips, acquired in a trade with the Indians in early April, went 3-4 with 4 RBI in the Reds 9-1 win over the Marlins on Monday night.
